Mary Poppins
Thursday, April 17
8:15 p.m.; doors open at 6 p.m.

The Banks children just can’t get along with the nannies hired by their overbearing banker father. Then the wind picks up in the east, someone knocks at the door, and all of their lives are changed forever. Fifty years ago, audiences eagerly swallowed the spoonful of sugar that is Mary Poppins, and the film became one of the most beloved movie musicals of all-time. Julie Andrews delivers a star-making title performance, alongside Dick Van Dyke as the lovable jack-of-all-trades, Bert. Courtesy of Walt Disney Pictures.

Allen Bauer is mysteriously saved from drowning off the coast of Cape Cod by a beautiful woman. When he wakes on the beach, she all-too-quickly disappears into the ocean. The mystery continues days later when she reappears at the Statue of Liberty guarding an incredible secret. Allen falls wholeheartedly in love with her and the rest is cinema history. Celebrating its 30th birthday this year, Ron Howard’s rollicking New York comedy-caper stars Tom Hanks, Daryl Hannah, Eugene Levy, and John Candy. Courtesy of Touchstone Pictures.
